SATURDAYS dinner to Mr.. Goschen was very
remarkable one in the numbers and character ol
those present. Lerd Salisbury's testimonial IN De
half of his new Cabinet recruit was extremely
cordial Mr., Goschen betrayed no particle Oh
regret at his own presence in the 1ory uo'erA

as hitter as brief bitter, that is, toward Mr..
Gladstone, to whom he owes his Dukedom anu
whom he now describes as the author OF the TACK

Orders seem to have gone forth from the LID
eral HEADQUARTERS for Liberals to show Mr.. Cos
chen no more favor, "The Daily News" which
pronounced his Budget when produced st king and
brilliant now describes it as shufling and sham
bling. But Mr.. Goschen is none the less the only
real debater of Cabinet rank whom the Tory
Ministry can oppose to the Liberal front bench.
The verdict of the English press on the Ameri-

thing like contempt an exhibition TO which

yesterdays immense throng, computed at over
10000, to Earls Court. The number of people
who went to the opening ceremony small
compared with the multitude who rushed to see
the Wild West. Archdeacon FarTar's prayer,
which the English thought an incongruous element
in the proceedings; Colonel Russell's speech,
which they pronounced that Of a. born orator
Mr. Whitleys address, Of which they say nothing
Mile Nordica's singing, and all the rest Of the
platform performances were but little regarded.
Invitations to the opening, which had been sent
literally by thousands, were treated simply as
invitations to the Wild West show Nothing
struck nc as more remarkable than the cool way
in which Mr.. Whitley and his colleagues in the
ceremony were ignored,
The number of really distinguished and fashion
able people who came was really extraordinary.
Most of them made their way at once to the boxes
or reserved seats in the grand stand and never
went near the main building The papers pub

easily be flied l saw no Royalties. The Royal
box was occupied by Madame Waddington. wife of
the French Ambassador, Count and Countess
DAubigny, Rustem Pacha, the Turkish Ambassa-
dor. and Cardinal Manning. The American Lega-
tion wholly unrepresented. The invitation
sent to the American Minister, though printed on
satin with fringed border was declined, Mr..
Phelps rightly thinking his presence might be con-
strued lending official sanction to the enterprise
with which the promoters SO long tried to connect

invited but declined. Near the Royal box
were Countess Spencer, the Countess of Rosebery,
Mrs Phipps Countess De Grey, Lady Charles
Beresford, Yiscountess Curzon Mrs. Adair, Mrs.
Arthur Post and Lady Dorothy Nevill. while in the
boxes at the other end visible the Duchess of
Marlborough, the Duchess of Bedford. Lady Ran
